However I think there are much dirtier sites offering services much worse and they are considered ok. For example I agree with the credit card company ban. I think that these companies are harming more people than simple fireworks and crackers… but that’s just a personal opinion. Of course there is not a lot of traffic regarding these articles and that’s why they have been banned. Ethics are always welcome.

Despite numerous assurances from Yahoo telephone operators that YSM editors will remove the violating ads, they have failed to do so again and again. Proof? Here is the resulting URL from a search for "term papers" at yahoo.com: http://search.yahoo.com/search;_ylt=A0oGkwJtyx9INFcBUzdXNyoA?p=term papers&y=Search&fr=sfp&ei=ISO-8859-1 Yahoo, get your act together and remove the violating essay ads!
